Problem 1 CMWMC 2022, Relay Round, Set 1/4
Compute the number of real numbers x such that the sequence x, x2 , x3 , x4 , x5 , . . . eventually repeats. (To be clear, we say
a sequence “eventually repeats” if there is some block of consecutive digits that repeats past some point—for instance, the
sequence 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 5, 6, 5, 6, . . . is eventually repeating with repeating block 5, 6.)
Problem 2 CMWMC 2022, Relay Round, Set 1/4
Let T be the answer to the previous problem. Nicole has a broken calculator which, when told to multiply a by b, starts by
multiplying a by b, but then multiplies that product by b again, and then adds b to the result. Nicole inputs the computation
“k × k” into the calculator for some real number k and gets an answer of 10T . If she instead used a working calculator, what
answer should she have gotten?
Problem 3 CMWMC 2022, Relay Round, Set 1/4
Let T be the answer to the previous problem. Find the positive
√ difference between
√ the largest and smallest perfect squares
that can be written as x2 + y 2 for integers x, y satisfying T ≤ x ≤ T and T ≤ y ≤ T .

What is the last digit of 2022 + 20222022 + 2022(2022 )
?
Problem 2 CMWMC 2022, Relay Round, Set 2/4
Let T be the answer to the previous problem. CMIMC executive members are trying to arrange desks for CMWMC. If they
arrange the desks into rows of 5 desks, they end up with 1 left over. If they instead arrange the desks into rows of 7 desks,
they also end up with 1 left over. If they instead arrange the desks into rows of 11 desks, they end up with T left over. What
is the smallest possible (non-negative) number of desks they could have?
Problem 3 CMWMC 2022, Relay Round, Set 2/4
Let T be the answer to the previous problem. Compute the largest value of k such that 11k divides
T ! = T (T − 1)(T − 2) . . . (2)(1).
Problem 1 CMWMC 2022, Relay Round, Set 3/4
Annie has 24 letter tiles in a bag; 8 C’s, 8 M’s, and 8 W’s. She blindly draws tiles from the bag until she has enough to spell
“CMWMC.” What is the maximum number of tiles she may have to draw?
Problem 2 CMWMC 2022, Relay Round, Set 3/4
Let T be the answer from the previous problem. Charlotte is initially standing at (0, 0) in the coordinate plane. She takes
T steps, each of which moves her by 1 unit in either the +x, −x, +y, or −y direction (e.g. her first step takes her to (1, 0),
(1, 0), (0, 1) or (0, −1)). After the T steps, how many possibilities are there for Charlotte’s location?
Problem 3 CMWMC 2022, Relay Round, Set 3/4
Let T be the answer from the previous problem, and let S be the sum of the digits of T . Francesca has an unfair coin with
an unknown probability p of landing heads on a given flip. If she flips the coin S times, the probability she gets exactly one
head is equal to the probability she gets exactly two heads. Compute the probability p.
Problem 1 CMWMC 2022, Relay Round, Set 4/4
Quadrilateral ABCD (with A, B, C not collinear and A, D, C not collinear) has AB = 4, BC = 7, CD = 10, and DA = 5.
Compute the number of possible integer lengths AC.
Problem 2 CMWMC 2022, Relay Round, Set 4/4
Let T be the answer from the previous part. 2T congruent isosceles triangles with base length b and leg length ℓ are arranged
to form a parallelogram as shown below (not necessarily the correct number of triangles). If the total length of all drawn line
segments (not double counting overlapping sides) is exactly three times the perimeter of the parallelogram, find bℓ .
Problem 3 CMWMC 2022, Relay Round, Set 4/4
Let T be the answer from the previous part. Rectangle R has length T times its width. R is inscribed in a square S such
that the diagonals of S are parallel to the sides of R. What proportion of the area of S is contained within R?
